KosherEye Cookbook Notes: This is a beautifully done cookbook on bread making, and with the step-by-step pictorial directions, it gives the reader a good idea of how the recipe is made. Granted, it does appear that the recipes have many steps but judging from the finished product, it is well worth it. Several of the recipes have wheat flakes as an ingredient; if not available, rolled oats can be used. For serious bakers, or want-to-be serious bakers, this is a must have cookbook. We are adding this one to our cookbook library.
